this is not a real thing i refuse to believe that some game that came from nowhere blows every other AAA title out of the water
like imagine if hi-fi rush just kept on going indefinitely. nonstop for a few years. it wouldn't be that interesting. it's just a really popular DMC clone with MGR style controls and a rhythm game focus
but seeing it actually dissipate like how a song would inevitably fade out is just - 💋 - poetic
keep on rocking tango
